Polish far-right lawmaker extinguishes Hanukkah candle in parliament | DW Shorts

A far-right lawmaker in the Polish parliament used a fire extinguisher to put out the candles on a menorah being lit in the parliament lobby for the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

All major political forces quickly condemned the incident by Grzegorz Braun and said there would be no tolerance for antisemitic and xenophobic behavior in the Sejm, the Polish parliament.

The speaker of the parliament, Szymon Holownia, called the act "absolutely scandalous" and excluded Braun from the day's parliamentary proceedings.
